That is a misleading headline. He doesn't mean 6 months from now, he means 6 months from onset of the disease. Lots of people believe that.
A similar movie worth watching is "Contagion" This movie, although Hollywoodized, does have a few points that demonstrate a possible process and outcome for the next pandemic. An RN suggested that movie so I screened it for a group of HS students. The RN really enjoyed explaining the accuracies the movie demonstrated in the process of the disease evolution and spreading.
